Two things people do not always realize:
1) You must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to qualify for federal student help, including the Stafford Loan. There is still time left so get it done online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
2) You are not done once you complete the FAFSA. You then actually need to apply for a Stafford Loan – and any other help you are interested in. Talk with your financial help officer, seek other resources and apply as early as possible.
